Why snowshoeing is not my favorite but it’s good for me
This winter has been unseasonably warm so attempting to try snowshoeing has been hit and miss all season. I’ve been able to try snowshoeing a few times this winter when we have gotten snow.

What it’s like to try the Luge when you are not an Olympic Athlete
I love when plans work out for a spontaneous adventure. My friend was already coming to town, so I just offered her the “choose your own adventure” option for her visit. Try the luge, cross country skiing or attend an ice sculpture festival. I was sooo excited that she wanted to try the luge too. The weekend we went was the first time the track had been open all winter due to lack of snow. This was a Christmas gift I’ve been impatiently waiting to use.
I had tried the wheeled luge track with my kids this past summer and I knew I wanted to come back to try the winter one.
A Winter Visit To Grand Haven For Lake Michigan Views
Every time we visit Grand Rapids, Michigan, we make it a point to also try to visit Grand Haven beach for views of Lake Michigan located about 30 minutes away. No matter what the weather is like during our visit, there is always beauty to behold. This winter was a little different because we experienced the warmest temperatures that we’ve ever had during a visit. The absence of snow and temperatures in the 50’s were definitely unseasonably warm for West Michigan in December.

When we moved back to Kentucky, one of the first things my husband did was put a flag up outside our front porch representing his favorite college team from Michigan. We were not even unpacked yet! Our new neighbor across the street, who we were friends with prior to moving away, told his wife that he thought that we moved into their neighborhood after noticing a facebook post with the flag. The funny part is that he is a BIG fan of that popular team from Ohio. Even though our husbands’ have their differences in college team allegiances, they can still set aside their differences and agree on a few things which includes great game day food.

Renting Snow Gear from Get Outfitted
I was given the opportunity to try out rental ski wear from Get Outfitted. I used the rental company on a trip to visit family in Grand Rapids, Michigan. My boys are in a big growth spurt stage and we are constantly discovering items of clothing that fit weeks ago that don’t fit anymore. They also tend to grow out of their ski gear pretty quickly too which made using Get Outfitted a nice alternative to the frustration of searching multiple stores for gear for the trip.
